Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gemüsehobel für Haushaltszwecke zum Schneiden oder Reiben von Gemüse oder Obst, mit einer Grundplatte und mindestens einem zwischen einer eine Anlauffläche für das Schneidgut aufweisenden, dem Handgriff zugewandten oberen Platte und einer eine Ablauffläche für das Schneidgut aufweisenden, dem Handgriff abgewandten zweiten Platte angeordneten Schneidmesser.The invention relates to a vegetable slicer for household purposes for cutting or grating vegetables or fruit, comprising a base plate and at least one between a start-up surface for the product having, the handle facing upper plate and a run-off surface for the product to be cut, the handle facing away from the second plate arranged cutting blade.

Mit einem solchen Hobel können Gemüse, Obst oder andere Lebensmittel mit hoher Schnelligkeit und konstanter Qualität zu Scheiben oder eventuell noch kleinerem Schneidgut zerkleinert werden. Dazu wird das Schneidgut an einem im Wesentlichen parallel zu den diversen Platten angeordneten Messer vorbeigeführt. Dieses Messer, die obere und die untere Platte sowie eine Grundplatte des Hobels verlaufen wiederum zumindest annähernd parallel. Je nach Schneidrichtung bildet dabei eine erste Platte eine Anlauf- und eine zweite Platte eine Ablauffläche für das Schneidgut. Dabei gibt die Stellung des Messers letztlich die Dicke der zu fertigenden Gemüse- oder Obstscheiben vor, wobei diese eben immer gleich dimensioniert sind, das heißt zumindest ohne umfangreichere Umrüstungen können mit demselben Hobel keine Scheiben von unterschiedlicher Stärke hergestellt werden.With such a planter, vegetables, fruits or other foods can be shredded into slices or possibly even smaller slices with high speed and constant quality. For this purpose, the material to be cut is guided past a knife arranged essentially parallel to the various plates. This knife, the upper and the lower plate and a base plate of the planer in turn are at least approximately parallel. Depending on the cutting direction, a first plate forms a starting surface and a second plate forms a discharge surface for the material to be cut. The position of the knife is ultimately the thickness of the vegetable or fruit slices to be produced before, these are just always the same size, that is, at least without extensive refitting can be made with the same planer no slices of different thickness.

Damit stellt sich der Erfindung die Aufgabe, einen Gemüsehobel für Haushaltszwecke zum Schneiden oder Reiben von Gemüse, Obst oder anderen Lebensmitteln zu schaffen, mit dem sich schnell und leicht Schneidgut von unterschiedlicher Stärke herstellen lässt.Thus, the invention has the task of creating a vegetable slicer for household purposes for cutting or grating vegetables, fruits or other foods that can be produced quickly and easily cutting material of different thickness.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass der Neigungsgrad zwischen den beiden Platten verstellbar ist.This object is achieved in that the degree of inclination between the two plates is adjustable.

Der Neigungsgrad zwischen den beiden Platten, welche die Anlauf- und Ablauffläche aufweisen, ist bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Hobel verstellbar, so dass sich die Größe des Spaltes, dem das Schneidmesser zugeordnet ist, leicht variieren lässt. Indem der Neigungswinkel zwischen den beiden Platten verstellt werden kann, wird also gleichzeitig der Spalt zwischen den beiden Platten in seiner Größe verändert, die der Stärke des Schneidgutes entspricht. Das Gemüse oder Obst wird zwecks Zerkleinerung über die eine Anlauffläche aufweisende obere Platte zum Schneidmesser und über die die Ablauffläche aufweisende untere Platte von diesem weggeführt.The degree of inclination between the two plates, which have the start-up and drainage surface, is adjustable in the planer according to the invention, so that the size of the gap, to which the cutting knife is assigned, can be varied slightly. By the inclination angle between the two plates can be adjusted, so at the same time the gap between the two plates is changed in size, which corresponds to the thickness of the material to be cut. The vegetables or fruits for the purpose of crushing over the runner having an upper plate to the cutting blade and the drainage surface having the lower plate of this led away.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform der Erfindung sieht dabei vor, dass die obere Platte und/oder die untere Platte in ihrer Neigung verstellbar ausgebildet sind und durch ihren Neigungsgrad gegenüber der jeweils anderen Platte die Größe eines Spaltes zwischen den beiden Platten vorgeben. Bevorzugt ist daran gedacht, dass die obere Platte in ihrer Neigung verstellbar ist, während die untere Platte starr gelagert ist.A preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the upper plate and / or the lower plate are adjustable in their inclination and predetermine the size of a gap between the two plates by their degree of inclination relative to the respective other plate. It is preferably thought that the upper plate is adjustable in its inclination, while the lower plate is rigidly mounted.

Der Verstellmechanismus zur Ausrichtung des Neigungsgrades zwischen den beiden Platten baut bei der erfindungsgemäßen Lösung besonders vorteilhaft, wenn zwischen der ersten Platte und der Grundplatte des Gemüsehobels eine Keilplatte angeordnet ist, deren Verstellung zu einer Neigungsänderung der ersten Platte führt. Dabei wird über den Verstellmechanismus eine Keilplatte zwischen zwei oder mehreren Stellungen hin- und herbewegt, mit deren Verstellung eine Änderung des Neigungsgrades zwischen den beiden Platten einhergeht. In Abhängigkeit von ihrer Positionierung sorgt die Keilplatte also gleichzeitig für unterschiedliche Neigungen der oberen Platte.The adjustment mechanism for aligning the degree of inclination between the two plates builds in the solution according to the invention particularly advantageous if between the first plate and the base plate of the vegetable slicer a wedge plate is arranged, the adjustment leads to a change in inclination of the first plate. In this case, a wedge plate is moved back and forth between two or more positions on the adjustment, with their adjustment, a change in the degree of inclination between the two plates is accompanied. Depending on their positioning, the wedge plate thus simultaneously provides for different inclinations of the upper plate.

Gedacht ist insbesondere daran, dass die Keilplatte in Richtung der Längsachse des Gemüsehobels verschiebbar angeordnet ist. Das heißt bei einer Verschiebung der Keilplatte in Richtung der Längsachse von Gemüsehobel oder Grundplatte schiebt sich diese so unter die obere Platte, dass diese sich automatisch in ihrer Neigung neu ausrichtet. Dies entspricht einem besonders präzise arbeitenden und leicht handhabbaren Mechanismus zur Neigungsverstellung, indem die Keilplatte zwischen verschiedenen Stellungen parallel zur Längsachse des Gemüsehobels zwischen Grund- und oberer Platte geführt ist.It is intended, in particular, for the wedge plate to be displaceable in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vegetable slicer. That means at one Movement of the wedge plate in the direction of the longitudinal axis of vegetable slicer or base plate, this pushes under the top plate so that it automatically reoriented in their inclination. This corresponds to a particularly precise working and easy to handle mechanism for tilt adjustment by the wedge plate is guided between different positions parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vegetable slicer between the base and upper plate.

Zwecks Änderung der Ausrichtung der beiden Platten zueinander ist vorgesehen, dass zum Verschieben der Keilplatte eine Verstelleinrichtung dient, welche um eine senkrecht auf der Grundplatte stehende Achse drehbar gelagert ist. Der erfindungsgemäße Hobel umfasst damit eine leicht handhabbare und optimal in das Gerät integrierte Verstelleinrichtung, indem ein Drehen der Verstelleinrichtung in eine Verschiebung der Keilplatte überführt wird.In order to change the orientation of the two plates to each other is provided that for displacing the wedge plate serves an adjusting device which is rotatably mounted about an axis perpendicular to the base plate axis. The planer according to the invention thus comprises an easily manageable and optimally integrated in the device adjusting means by turning the adjusting device is transferred into a displacement of the wedge plate.

Konkret ist dieser Vorschlag so zu verstehen, dass die Verstelleinrichtung ein auf der Vorderseite der Grundplatte des Gemüsehobels angeordnetes Verstellglied und eine auf der Rückseite der Grundplatte angeordnete Handhabe zu ihrer Bedienung aufweist. Betätigt der Nutzer also durch Drehen die Handhabe auf der stets auch von Rückständen des Schneidgutes freien Rückseite der Grundplatte, spricht er das Verstellglied auf der gegenüberliegenden Vorderseite der Grundplatte an, dessen Verstellung zu einer Verschiebung der Keilplatte zwischen deren unterschiedlichen Positionen führt, womit wiederum eine Neigungsverstellung der oberen Platte einhergeht.Specifically, this proposal is to be understood that the adjusting device has an arranged on the front of the base plate of the vegetable slicer adjusting and arranged on the back of the base handle for their operation. So if the user activates the handle on the rear side of the base plate which is always free from residues of the material to be cut, he speaks the adjusting member on the opposite front side of the base plate whose adjustment leads to a displacement of the wedge plate between its different positions, which in turn results in a tilt adjustment the upper plate goes along.

Es wurde bereits angesprochen, dass die Verstelleinrichtung drehbar gelagert ist und dass deren Verdrehung in eine Längsbewegung der Keilplatte übergeht. Ergänzend hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die Verstelleinrichtung in Stufen verdrehbar ausgebildet ist, was deren Bedienung ganz entscheidend vereinfacht. So kann die Verstelleinrichtung, insbesondere wenn sie mit Markierungen versehen ist, präzise in Hinblick auf die Neigung der Platte, der diese zugeordnet ist, eingestellt werden.It has already been mentioned that the adjusting device is rotatably mounted and that its rotation merges into a longitudinal movement of the wedge plate. In addition to this, it is provided that the adjusting device is rotatable in stages, which greatly simplifies their operation. Thus, the adjusting device, in particular if it is provided with markings, can be precisely adjusted with regard to the inclination of the plate, which is assigned to these.

Auf der Vorderseite der Grundplatte befindet sich das von der Rückseite der Grundplatte aus bedienbare Verstellglied, wozu daran gedacht ist, dass als Verstellglied ein Kranz dient, welcher mit einer an der Keilplatte vorgesehenen Zahnschiene in Eingriff steht, um die bereits mehrfach angesprochene Längsbewegung der Keilplatte zu erreichen. Der Kranz an der Vorderseite der Grundplatte korrespondiert mit einer Zahnschiene an einer Innenfläche der Keilplatte, so dass die Drehung des Kranzes dank der Verzahnung in eine Verschiebung der Keilplatte übergeht. Bei Bedienung der Verstelleinrichtung also wird das auf den Kranz ausgeübte Drehmoment über die Zahnschiene auf die Keilplatte übertragen.On the front of the base plate is the operable from the back of the base plate from adjusting member, which is thought to serve as adjusting a wreath, which is in engagement with a toothed rail provided on the wedge plate to the already repeatedly addressed longitudinal movement of the wedge plate to reach. The rim on the front of the base plate corresponds with a toothed rail on an inner surface of the wedge plate, so that the rotation of the ring merges into a displacement of the wedge plate thanks to the toothing. When operating the adjusting device so the force exerted on the rim torque is transmitted through the toothed rail on the wedge plate.

In diesem Sinne empfiehlt es sich, wenn die Zahnschiene in eine Ausnehmung in der Keilplatte integriert ist, um eine dauerhaft zuverlässige Verzahnung an einer Innenfläche der Keilplatte zu gewährleisten.In this sense, it is recommended that the toothed rail is integrated in a recess in the wedge plate in order to ensure a permanently reliable toothing on an inner surface of the wedge plate.

Mehrfach wurde bereits darauf hingewiesen, dass der Keilplatte eine besondere Bedeutung bei der Neigungsverstellung der oberen Platte zufällt. Ergänzend hierzu ist vorgesehen, dass die Keilplatte an ihrer Unterseite eine Verstärkung aufweist. Diese Verstärkung wirkt sich in Richtung der benachbarten Grundplatte dahingehend aus, dass die Verstärkung in Abhängigkeit von der jeweiligen Stellung der Keilplatte gegen die obere Platte drückt, was zu deren Neigungsverstellung führt. Je höher folglich die Keilplatte geschoben ist, desto größer die Neigung der oberen Platte. Außerdem weist die Keilplatte an ihrer Unterseite eine Schräge auf und korrespondiert damit mit einer Schräge, welche die obere Platte an ihrem dem Schneidmesser zugewandten unteren Ende aufweist.It has often been pointed out that the wedge plate is of particular importance in the tilt adjustment of the upper plate. In addition, it is provided that the wedge plate has a reinforcement on its underside. This reinforcement acts in the direction of the adjacent base plate in that the reinforcement presses against the upper plate in dependence on the respective position of the wedge plate, which leads to its inclination adjustment. Consequently, the higher the wedge plate is pushed, the greater the inclination of the upper plate. In addition, the wedge plate on its underside on a slope and thus corresponds to a slope which has the upper plate at its the cutting blade facing the lower end.

Die Erfindung zeichnet sich insbesondere dadurch aus, dass ein Gemüsehobel zum Schneiden oder Reiben von Gemüse, Obst oder anderen Lebensmitteln geschaffen ist, der sich schnell, leicht und präzise so einstellen lässt, dass jeweils Schneidgut von unterschiedlicher Stärke hergestellt werden kann. Hierzu zieht und/oder schiebt der Bediener das zu schneidende Obst oder Gemüse über eine erste, als Anlauffläche dienende Platte in Richtung einer zweiten, als Ablauffläche dienenden Platte. Weil zwischen beiden Platten ein Schneidmesser positioniert ist, wird das Obst oder Gemüse dabei in Scheiben zerschnitten oder durch Anordnung weiterer Schneidelemente in Zieh-/Schiebrichtung gegebenenfalls auch zusätzlich zerkleinert. Der die Dicke der Scheiben vorgebende Spalt zwischen den beiden Platten kann dabei durch eine Neigungsänderung der oberen, dem Handgriff des Gemüsehobels zugewandten Platte variiert werden. Zur Einstellung dient eine Einrichtung, welche die Grundplatte durchdringt und an ihrer Rückseite eine Handhabe zur Bedienung eines an deren Vorderseite positionierten Verstellgliedes aufweist. Ein Drehen der Verstelleinrichtung geht dann in eine Verschiebung einer Keilplatte über, welche sich zwischen der Grund- und der oberen Platte verschiebt und dank einer unregelmäßigen Ausbildung auf ihrer Frontseite direkt zu einer Neigungsverstellung der oberen Platte führt.The invention is characterized in particular by the fact that a vegetable slicer for cutting or grating vegetables, fruits or other foods is created, which can be adjusted quickly, easily and precisely so that in each case cutting material of different thickness are produced can. For this purpose, the operator pulls and / or pushes the fruit or vegetables to be cut over a first, serving as a contact surface plate in the direction of a second, serving as a drainage plate. Because a cutting blade is positioned between the two plates, the fruit or vegetables are cut into slices or, if necessary, additionally comminuted by arranging further cutting elements in the pulling / pushing direction. The thickness of the discs predetermining gap between the two plates can be varied by a change in inclination of the upper, the handle of the vegetable slicer facing plate. To adjust serves a device which penetrates the base plate and has on its rear side a handle for the operation of an actuator positioned on the front side. Turning of the adjustment then goes into a displacement of a wedge plate, which shifts between the base and the upper plate and leads thanks to an irregular design on its front directly to a tilt adjustment of the upper plate.

In Figur ist ein Gemüsehobel 1 dargestellt, welcher einen Rahmen 27 mit einer hier durch die beiden Platten 2 und 3 verdeckten Grundplatte aufweist. Der Rahmen 27 umfasst außerdem eine Ausnehmung 29, so dass sich an seinem Ende ein Griff 10 ausbildet. Zwischen der oberen Platte 2 und der unteren Platte 3 befindet sich ein austauschbares Schneidmesser 4, dem mehrere parallel positionierte Schneiden zur weitergehenden Zerkleinerung vorgeordnet sind, von denen hier zwei beispielhaft mit dem Bezugszeichen 25 und 26 gekennzeichnet sind. In diesem Ausführungsbeispiel stellt die obere Platte die Anlauf- und die untere Platte 3 die Ablauffläche dar, das heißt das Schneidgut in Form von zum Beispiel Obst oder Gemüse wird in Pfeilrichtung 35 über das Schneidmesser 4 gezogen und fällt dann durch den zwischen den beiden Platten 2 und 3 vorgesehenen Spalt nach unten.FIG. 1 shows a vegetable slicer 1 which has a frame 27 with a base plate concealed here by the two plates 2 and 3. The frame 27 also includes a recess 29, so that at its end a handle 10 is formed. Between the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 3 there is an exchangeable cutting blade 4, which is preceded by a plurality of parallel positioned cutting edges for further comminution, two of which are exemplified here by the reference numerals 25 and 26 are. In this embodiment, the upper plate, the start-up and the lower plate 3 is the drainage surface, that is, the cutting material in the form of, for example, fruits or vegetables is pulled in the direction of arrow 35 on the cutting blade 4 and then falls through the between the two plates. 2 and 3 provided gap down.

Figur 2 zeigt den Gemüsehobel 1 mit Blick auf die Rückseite 13, genauer gesagt die Grundplatte 5 und verschiedene dieser zugeordnete Einrichtungen. Zu nennen ist dabei in erster Linie die Verstelleinrichtung 8 zum Verstellen der Neigung zwischen den beiden auf der Vorderseite der Grundplatte 5 befindlichen, hier nicht erkennbaren Platten. Mit dem Bezugszeichen 36 und 37 sind zwei von mehren Markierungen bezeichnet, welche dem jeweiligen Neigungsgrad entsprechen, hier Neigungsgrad "2" und "3". Bei einer Drehung der Handhabe 11 der Verstelleinrichtung 8 an der Rückseite 13 des Gemüsehobels 1 um die senkrechte Achse 16 verschiebt sich die Keilplatte. Von letzterer sind hier nur die Stege 31 erkennbar, mit denen die Keilplatte in den Öffnungen 30 parallel zur Längsachse 7 des Gemüsehobels 1 beziehungsweise der Grundplatte 5 geführt ist. Von Bedeutung ist auch das Gelenklager 24, um das bei Betätigung der Handhabe 11 die hier nicht dargestellte obere Platte um das Lager 24, das heißt die Achse 40 verschwenkt wird, so dass sich daraufhin der Neigungsgrad zwischen den beiden Platten entsprechend der Einstellung und damit die Größe des Spaltes 38 ändert, was zur Fertigung unterschiedlich dimensionierten Schneidgutes führt. FIG. 2 shows the vegetable slicer 1 with a view of the back 13, more precisely, the base plate 5 and various of these associated facilities. To mention here is primarily the adjusting device 8 for adjusting the inclination between the two located on the front of the base plate 5, not recognizable here plates. Reference numerals 36 and 37 designate two of a plurality of marks corresponding to the respective degree of inclination, here, degrees of inclination "2" and "3". Upon rotation of the handle 11 of the adjusting device 8 on the back 13 of the vegetable slicer 1 about the vertical axis 16, the wedge plate shifts. Of the latter, only the webs 31 can be seen here, with which the wedge plate is guided in the openings 30 parallel to the longitudinal axis 7 of the vegetable slicer 1 and the base plate 5. Of importance is also the spherical bearing 24, to which when operating the handle 11, the upper plate, not shown here about the bearing 24, that is, the axis 40 is pivoted, so that then the degree of inclination between the two plates according to the setting and thus the Size of the gap 38 changes, which leads to the production of differently sized cut material.

Hierzu zeigt Figur 3 nochmals den erfindungsgemäßen Gemüsehobel 1 in Draufsicht mit den beiden Platten 2 und 3 und dem dazwischen positionierten Schneidmesser 4 sowie den Schneiden 25, 26 und einer Vielzahl von Rillen 33, 34 auf den beiden Platten 2 und 3.This shows FIG. 3 again the vegetable slicer 1 according to the invention in plan view with the two plates 2 and 3 and the interposed positioned cutting blade 4 and the cutting 25, 26 and a plurality of grooves 33, 34 on the two plates 2 and 3.

Schließlich zeigt Figur 4 eine Explosionsdarstellung des Gemüsehobels 1 mit den verschiedenen Bauteilen. Dabei handelt es sich zunächst um den Rahmen 27 mit der Ausnehmung 29 und dem Griff 10. Erkennbar ist eine Öffnung 32 in der Grundplatte 5 für die Verstelleinrichtung 8, wobei zwei der verschiedenen Stufen mit den Bezugszeichen 14 und 15 angedeutet sind. Die Verstelleinrichtung 8 durchdringt die Öffnung 32, das heißt auf der Vorderseite 12 der Grundplatte 5 bzw. des Gemüsehobels 1 befindet sich das Verstellglied 9 mit dem mehrere Lamellen aufweisenden Kranz 17, das dann von der Rückseite von der Grundplatte 5 bzw. Gemüsehobel 1 aus über die Handhabe 11 betätigt wird. Handhabe 11 und Verstellglied 9 sind dazu über einen Bolzen 39 miteinander verbunden. Der Kranz 17 korrespondiert seinerseits mit einer Zahnschiene 18, welche in die Ausnehmung 19 der Keilplatte 6 integriert ist. Das heißt eine Drehung des Verstellgliedes 9 samt Kranz 17 geht in eine Längsbewegung der Keilplatte 6 über, bei welcher diese sich weiter unter die obere Platte 2 schiebt. Die Keilplatte 6 weist eine der Formgebung der oberen Platte 2 entsprechende Schräge 20 auf. Weil die Keilplatte 6 außerdem an ihrer der oberen Platte 2 zugewandten Frontseite 23 und der der unteren Platte zugewandten Unterseite 22 eine Verstärkung 21 aufweist, führt eine Verschiebung der Keilplatte 6 parallel zur Längsachse von Grundplatte 5 bzw. Gemüsehobel 1 zu einer Neigungsverstellung der oberen Platte 2 und mithin zu einer Vergrößerung oder Verkleinerung des Spaltes, dem das der unteren Platte 3 Schneidmesser 4 zugeordnet ist. Folglich führt eine Bedienung der Handhabe 11 dank der Neigungsverstellung der oberen Platte 2 zu der Möglichkeit, unterschiedlich dimensioniertes Schneidgut herzustellen.Finally shows FIG. 4 an exploded view of the vegetable slicer 1 with the various components. These are first the frame 27 with the recess 29 and the handle 10. Recognizable is a Opening 32 in the base plate 5 for the adjusting device 8, wherein two of the different stages by the reference numerals 14 and 15 are indicated. The adjusting device 8 penetrates the opening 32, that is, on the front side 12 of the base plate 5 and the vegetable slicer 1 is the adjusting member 9 with the plurality of lamellae ring 17, which then from the back of the base plate 5 and vegetable slicer 1 via the handle 11 is actuated. Handle 11 and adjusting member 9 are connected to each other via a pin 39. The ring 17 in turn corresponds to a toothed rail 18, which is integrated in the recess 19 of the wedge plate 6. That is, a rotation of the adjusting member 9 together with rim 17 is in a longitudinal movement of the wedge plate 6, in which this pushes further under the upper plate 2. The wedge plate 6 has a shape corresponding to the upper plate 2 corresponding slope 20. Because the wedge plate 6 also has a reinforcement 21 on its front side 23 facing the upper plate 2 and the lower plate 22 facing the lower plate, displacement of the wedge plate 6 parallel to the longitudinal axis of the base plate 5 or vegetable slicer 1 results in a tilt adjustment of the upper plate 2 and thus to an enlargement or reduction of the gap, which is assigned to the lower plate 3 cutting blade 4. Consequently, an operation of the handle 11 thanks to the tilt adjustment of the upper plate 2 leads to the possibility to produce different sized cutting material.
